Summer Light
The fields glow in the golden hour before sunset. The hill country shimmers in golden light this summer.
Rose Arch
This tiny painting, only 5″ x 7″ is a Plein Air work done on site at the Zilker Botanical Gardens. Don’t you just love that place?
Castle Elisabet
This tiny gem of a painting simply shimmers. The spring flowers draw the viewer into the picture plane. Austin’s historic landmark, the Elisabet Ney Museum, is a tiny castle under a blue sky. A beautiful piece for any home.
Red Poppy Festival
Arnica Grace and the Round Rock Plein Air Painters got a first look at the beautiful blooms. Full of color and light, this 11″ x 14″ oil painting was made on site.
Plein Air painting is a time-honored traditional way for artists to capture a spectacular moment in time. From Monet and Cezanne all the way down to the present, painters like Arnica have always enjoyed the challenge of capturing the light and colors of the seasons.
